Update to my wheelie bin rubbish truck - V2Following some suggestions I have now modified this model. I have removed the drive connection to the front winch (which is now manually operated) and I am now using this second drive function to tilt and empty the rear body section. The below photos and video show this in action. I think this change has made a huge difference to this model and it is a really good improvement. I spent about two hours on making this change and testing it. Video and more photos are on my blog.

Update: 17/12/2013 - V3After some more research and feedback I have made some more changes to this model, this brings us up to version 3.These changes include:- Adding some more pieces to the lifting arm to make this stronger and attached more securely to the body.- Changed the panels on the side to ones without stickers to allow me to add a sticker showing the two options with the side switch.- Changed the top lid section to now be made from solid panels. This has also meant I have been able to attach the back tail gate in the middle which also makes this stronger.- Some minor cosmetic changes to the warning lights and the control knob at the back.

I have just updated my blog with Version 4 of my wheelie bin rubbish truck. This now features Power Functions to lift the arm and empty the rear body section. Photos and a video can be found on my blog.
